Filip and Lucas were absolutely fantastic. They were engaging, shared fascinating insights about the aurora, and worked seamlessly as a team throughout the evening.

The extra touches truly elevated the experience — hand and foot warmers, use of tripods for photography, and delicious soup and hot drinks to keep…”
